The Book of Daniel and manticism: a critical assessment of the view that the Book of Daniel derives from a mantic tradition
No full textThis dissertation examines the consensus view that is based on Hans-Peter
Müller's 1969 and 1972 articles: Daniel was a mantic wise man in the Mesopotamian
ASA
court, and this was the self-understanding or aspiration of the maskilim of Dan 11:33, 35,
12:3, 10, who wrote the book. Chapter 1 reviews the arguments that make the mantic connection and Chapter 2 concludes that a direct connection with the Danes of Aqht, Ezek, and Jub, and with the angel in 1 Enoch should be rejected. There is evidence that the
tradition of a priest in Ezra 8: 2 and Neh 10: 7, and found also in the superscription to
the Old Greek of Bel, and 4 Ezra 12:10-11, and suggested the name.
Chapter 3 concludes that the portrayal of the court diviners in Dan 1-6 is wholly
negative and includes both the diviners, and the essence of the professions, i. e., the
ability to interpret a divine revelation. The critique is conveyed through the story line,
explicit criticisms, irony, and humour. Chapter 4 concludes that Daniel, the interpreter
of dreams and the writing on the wall, is distinguished from every other character and role. In the final form of Dan, Daniel as the divinely assisted each time he interprets, just as when he receives help from an interpreting angel in Dan 7-12.
Chapter 5 demonstrates that the portrayal of Daniel as the divinely assisted
interpreter makes sense of the reinterpretation of old prophecies against the Assyrians
as prophecies against Antiochus IV Epiphanes. Hab 2:2-4 and Isa 52-53 were also
understood as predictions about the maskilim themselves. Comparisons are then made
with the Teacher of Righteousness, the writers of the Hodayot, and with three Essenes
portrayed by Josephus. These too were portrayed as divinely assisted interpreters
Ethnic identity, political identity and ethnic conflict: simulating the effect of congruence between the two identities on ethnic violence and conflict
No full textThis thesis outlines and presents an alternative hypothetical process to the emergence of ethnic conflict. Ethnic conflicts, rather than being dependent upon pre-existing 'ancient hatreds', are instead the result of a congruence between ethnic and political identity which grants individuals the ability to use ethnicity to identify and eliminate political threats. This hypothesis is formed by the examination of three case studies of ethnic conflict: Lebanon, Northern Ireland and Croatia. This hypothesis is then formalised and tested using an agent based simulation in which agent interactions are dependent upon ethnic and political identity and the congruence between the two. As predicted there was a strong positive correlation between how accurately ethnic identity reflected political identity and the level of ethnically motivated violence in the simulation, although the relationship was not linear. Furthermore the effect of a shift in congruence was found to be roughly comparable to the effect of initialising agents with a moderate level of pre-existing ethnic antagonism
Handbook for Learning-centred evaluation of Computer-facilitated learning projects in higher education
No full textThis handbook supports a project funded by the Australian Government Committee for University Teaching and Staff Development (CUTSD). The amended project title is “Staff Development in Evaluation of Technology-based Teaching Development Projects: An Action Inquiry Approach”.
The project is hosted by Murdoch University on behalf of the Australasian Society for Computers in Learning in Tertiary Education (ASCILITE), as a consortium of 11 universities.
The rationale of the project is to guide a group of university staff through the evaluation of a Computer-facilitated Learning (CFL1) project by a process of action inquiry and mentoring, supported by the practical and theoretical material contained in this handbook
New beginnings or same old ending for researcher development?
No full textThis chapter will review the progress researcher development has made in the UK since it was initiated nearly two decades ago. Standing in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, the author asks how researcher development came about and what lessons, especially with respect to culture change, can be learned. The success of researcher development is viewed as the result of a combination of talented individuals and external interventions, notably from funders. Contemporary challenges about an unhealthy research culture and concerns about doctoral wellbeing, raise questions about the robustness of researcher development and the structural limitations of the profession to effect change. There is, though, an opportunity here for positive change and the chance to create a new future
Measurement of the Exclusive γγ → μ⁺μ⁻ Process in Proton-Proton Collisions at √s=13 TeV with the ATLAS Detector
No full textThe production of exclusive γγ → μ⁺μ⁻ events in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV is measured with the ATLAS detector at the LHC, using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.2 fb⁻¹. The measurement is performed for a dimuon invariant mass of 12 GeV < m(μ⁺μ⁻) < 70 GeV. The integrated cross-section is determined within a fiducial acceptance region of the ATLAS detector and differential cross-sections are measured as a function of the dimuon invariant mass. The results are compared to theoretical predictions both with and without corrections for absorptive effects. © 2017 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier B.V.School of Natural Sciences and Mathematic
Persisting side-to-side differences in bone mineral content, but not in muscle strength and tendon stiffness after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction
No full textTendon stiffness may be involved in limiting peak musculoskeletal forces and thus may constitute an upper limit for bone strength. The patellar tendon bone (PTB)
graft, which is harvested from the patellar tendon during surgical reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), is an ideal scenario to test this hypothesis.
Eleven participants were recruited who had undergone surgical reconstruction of the ACL with a PTB graft 1–10 years prior to study inclusion. As previously reported,
there was no side-to-side difference in thigh muscle cross-sectional area, in maximum voluntary knee extension torque, or in patellar tendon stiffness, suggesting full recovery of musculature and tendon. However, in the present study
bone mineral content (BMC), assessed by peripheral quantitative computed tomography, was lower on the operated side than on the control side in four regions studied (P = 0.0019). Differences were less pronounced in the two sites directly affected by the operation (patella and tibia epiphysis) when compared to the more remote sites. Moreover, significant side-to-side differences were found in BMC in the trabecular compartment in the femoral and tibial epiphysis (P = 0.004 and P = 0.047, respectively) with reductions on the operated side, but increased in the
patella (P = 0.00016). Cortical BMC, by contrast, was lower on the operated side a all sites except the tibia epiphysis (P = 0.09). These findings suggest that impaired recovery of BMC following ACL reconstruction is not because of lack of recovery of knee extensor strength or patellar tendon stiffness. The responsible mechanisms still remain to be determined
Factors influencing childhood overweight and obesity in low and middle-income countries: a systematic review
No full textThe purpose of this study was to examine the current literature on childhood overweight and obesity in low and middle-income countries (LMICs) as defined by the World Bank. Many LMICs are experiencing a dual burden of under- and over-nutrition which has a widespread impact on global health. In addition, globalization and changes in food production in LMICs have been associated with the growing prevalence rates of childhood obesity. Although obesity trends have been well documented in developed countries, there is a lack of representative data on childhood obesity in LMICs. For this study, 29 articles were reviewed and analyzed to examine the factors contributing to childhood overweight and obesity in LMICs. This review provides evidence of childhood overweight/obesity in low and middle-income countries. The findings of this review describe the six main factors associated with childhood overweight and obesity including sociodemographic factors, nutrition transition, family household structure, maternal health status, environment, and sedentary lifestyle. Since the studies varied regarding methods and analysis, we cannot generalize key findings across articles or between countries. Therefore, this review will report on the factors associated with childhood obesity by country based on specific studies to avoid generalization. Future research should use an ecological approach to provide health education to eliminate childhood obesity. Additionally, interventions and strategies should be attentive to the cultural and socioeconomic risk factors that are heavily associated with childhood obesity.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'Closed Access', the embargo will last until 2018-05-01The student, Dayanna Reeves, accepted the attached license on 2016-04-08 at 16:36.The student, Dayanna Reeves, submitted this Thesis for approval on 2016-04-08 at 16:36.This Thesis was approved for publication on 2016-04-11 at 16:52.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #9173 on 2016-07-07 at 14:16:33Made available in DSpace on 2016-07-07T21:14:35Z (GMT).
